He was talking about decompression chambers for divers
out on someone’s stoop
which wasn’t ours.
and about being underwater beforehand with the
stops and pauses and
inflations and flaws
in the oxygen-filled tubing.
how, leading outwards on
and depending on
some things that came to cause
the quakes and shivers,
bodily, to us he
talks on
about:
missing his roommates,
them being recently deceased.
he doesn’t know what he should be doing
in place of buying cat food.
